Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

This three-disc set, part of Warner's Essential Classics series, collects three films--The Wizard of Oz, The Goonies, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory--in one inexpensive package. (Apparently, 1985's The Goonies and 1971's Willy Wonka are considered modern classics.) The drawback is you don't get the bonus discs of The Wizard of Oz (either one bonus disc or two, depending on which version you're interested in)--so if you really want the documentaries or the silent films, you'll want to stick with the individual releases. But this set does include the commentary tracks, cast profiles, and any other material that was on the movie discs of the Oz sets, or anything that was on the previous Goonies or Wonka releases. Best of all, The Wizard of Oz has the great remastered picture of the two previous releases. So if you just want the movies looking better than ever with some bonus features thrown in for good measure, the price per movie makes this set an attractive bargain. --David Horiuchi

1.0 out of 5 stars I really hate to give it 1 star, but..., October 26, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase

I really hate to give this set a 1 star, but the description was wrong! I bought this ONLY because it said it was in German (dubbed and with subtitles)! I already own all 3 of these movies in English, and they are really great productions. Gene Wilder is my all-time favorite actor, and I feel ashamed of myself giving ANYTHING he is in a 1star rating. I want to be clear that the 1 star is for the error in description, not for the movies!

5.0 out of 5 stars A true classic, November 25, 2008

By	A. M. Howard (Del Mar, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought two of these for my four grandchildren ( two to each family).
The children range in age from five to two and a half. My husband and
I put it on for them for the first time, and they were all mesmerized.
Since then, they must have watched it 10 times, and love to talk about all
the characters. Even the youngest can name all the characters and the bad witch. Their parents (my children) were rejoicing in the fact that this was one movie from their childhood that has withstood time with its magic and appeal. "There's no place like home"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantabulous, November 19, 2008

By	Patricia Buchenberger "Mema Too" (Long Gyland, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was a great find. I as looking for a copy of "the Wizard of Oz" for my granddaughters and gathering all three films together was a terrific bonus. They have become huge Willy Wonka fans, a next generation ! I know when they get a bit older, they will love "the Goonies" as much as their parents did.
